2. Rotary phase converter - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotary_phase_converter

   Demand exists for phase converters due to the use of three-phase motors. With increasing power output, three-phase motors have preferable characteristics to single-phase motors; the latter not being available in sizes over 15 hp (11 kW) and, though available, rarely seen larger than 5 hp (3.7 kW).

3. Phase converter - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phase_converter

   An American Rotary Phase Converter with a Transformer. A phase converter is a device that converts electric power provided as single phase to multiple phase or vice versa. The majority of phase converters are used to produce three-phase electric power from a single-phase source, thus allowing the operation of three-phase equipment at a site that only has single-phase electrical service.

4. Rotary converter - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotary_converter

   Wiring schematic for a simplified bipolar-field Gramme-ring single-phase–to–direct-current rotary converter. (In actual use, the converter is drum-wound and uses a multipolar field.) [2] Wiring schematic for a simplified two-phase–to–direct-current rotary converter, with the second phase connected at right angles to the first [3] Wiring schematic for a simplified three-phase–to ...

   Such converters may also allow the frequency to be varied, allowing speed control. Some railway locomotives use a single-phase source to drive three-phase motors fed through an electronic drive. [36] A rotary phase converter is a three-phase motor with special starting arrangements and power factor correction that produces balanced three-phase ...

6. Power inverter - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_inverter

   A basic three-phase inverter consists of three single-phase inverter switches each connected to one of the three load terminals. For the most basic control scheme, the operation of the three switches is coordinated so that one switch operates at each 60 degree point of the fundamental output waveform.

   For example, balanced two-phase power can be obtained from a three-phase network by using two specially constructed transformers, with taps at 50% and 86.6% of the primary voltage. This Scott T connection produces a true two-phase system with 90° time difference between the phases.

8. Z-source inverter - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Z-source_inverter

   A Z-source inverter is a type of power inverter, a circuit that converts direct current to alternating current. The circuit functions as a buck-boost inverter without making use of DC-DC converter bridge due to its topology. Impedance (Z) source networks efficiently convert power between source and load from DC to DC, DC to AC, and from AC to ...

   Three-Phase to Single-Phase Cycloconverters: There are two kinds of three-phase to single-phase cycloconverters: 3φ to 1φ half wave cycloconverters and 3φ to 1φ bridge cycloconverters. Both positive and negative converters can generate voltage at either polarity, resulting in the positive converter only supplying positive current, and the ...
